It's really rough dealing with all the dictionary definition changes that occur during one's lifetime. Especially if a word used when as a kid is later described as archaic. But my parents were already in their 40s when I came along.

You do take delight in painting yourself as a grumpy old man, but you're not that old.

A Touch of Pink is a movie where a young gay man haunted/coaxed into being a pervert by the screaming queen ghost of Cary Grant (played by Kyle MacLachlan) has to hide his sexuality from his devoutly Muslim mother who is visiting from abroad.

I didn't see a photograph of Grant with gray hair until shortly after he retired in 1966, and he was completely gray. Though I think they did let some show in Father Goose. He was the same age as my dad, who was gray with a Patrick Stewart hairstyle.

Found a good quote from Grant regarding actors: "I'm opposed to actors taking sides in public and spouting spontaneously about love, religion or politics. We aren't experts on these subjects. Personally I'm a mass of inconsistencies when it comes to politics. My opinions are constantly changing. That's why I don't ever take a public stand on issues."

It's ridiculous. Why do people care what celebrities think about anything? Especially actors, who pretend being people that they aren't. Then there's the glut of neo-celebrities who instantly somehow become "stars" because they did a single appearance on a "reality" show. I see stories every day about some 20 year old celebrity I've never heard of.

Just in case this should ever happen to me I have my scandalous opinion pieces already planned out. I'll release them into the world in staged twitter commentary, building up slowly to my ultimate confession.
